Episode 10 - “How to Ban Glyphosate w/ Dr. Zach Bush and Panel”

by Doc Schrock | 8-25-2020 | Podcast LEARN THE SIMPLE STEPS TO TAKE TO RID YOUR COMMUNITY OF HARMFUL AND SYNTHETIC PESTICIDES.

The narrative is told by facts weaved into a story. This podcast will grab ahold of many hearts in many neighborhoods to act in the name of health freedom and liberty to pursue a good life. Glyphosate-based herbicides and pesticides are more than “tools,” which they are often termed by the chemical agriculture industry. There are toxic chemicals that are sprayed at a rate of over 300 million pounds per year here in the U.S. alone. They are being sprayed on our food plants that interrupt vital cycles in the plant that rob our food of nutrients. They are sprayed on and around golf courses, playgrounds where our kids play, and often in yards by well-meaning neighbors that do not know the carcinogenic and bioaccumulative toxic effects of glyphosate within the human body. Dr. Zach Bush teaches us that our multi-decade insult of glyphosate in our food and water systems has impacted human health and the planet in many ways: starting with alarming endocrine cancer rates, an increase of 50% in chronic health conditions in children, and a grim look at a study that shows that the worst of glyphosate genetic damages reaches 3 generations deep into the future. This podcast is a look at the facts about glyphosate and the story that led me (Doc Schrock) and my wife, Dr. Andrea Schrock to working with the mayor of Louisville, CO, Ashley Stolzman to ban the use of glyphosate and 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid from our public spaces, decreasing the probability our community will be harmed. We all could not be a part of this without Kim Konte, founder of a wonderful organization called Non-Toxic neighborhoods, our leader in resource and direction to lead our city officials and staff to adopt sustainable and organic/regenerative land management policies.
